Words from the Wise

My boyfriend, in my eyes, can solve all the world's problems.My parents can help me solve all my boyfriend problems.And my sister will always offer to listen to my boyfriend/parent problems.

It's nice having them around.

This past week has been eye-opening for me in seeing the torment that teenagers often put their parents through. And eye-opening that, in no time at all, these once-teenagers will be parents themselves and will be repeating the wisdom of their parents to their own children.Full circle.

I thought today I would share some of my favorite words of wisdom with you here on the blog. Feel free to comment and share some of your own personal favorites!

"If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it.""Avoid complaining about your significant otherto your friends.""Only live within your means.""Pick your battles.""Don't waste your time dating someone you wouldn't marry.""Live your life in a way that, if watched on tape, you wouldn't be ashamed.""Dress classy, not trashy.""You'll never please everyone. Accept it and move on.""Never be ashamed to walk away from a situation that makes you uncomfortable.""When you get to the end of your life, the only thing that will matter to you is your family."
